#ad It doesn’t always come naturally to ask for help, but stressful feelings can sometimes come from the idea that if we don’t do it ourselves, then it won’t get done (/right). Sometimes being able to open up to the idea that things can happen in ways other than we originally imagined (ie. spending family time over a home-cooked meal that took time that you didn’t have to make vs. spending family time over a meal that was brought to your home), can be really freeing.
When Josh and I are feeling overwhelmed with our to-do list for the day, we start to look for things we can cut out in order to make it easier and have a better day overall.

How Can I Feel More Intimate with my Husband?
I think there’s a myth out there that says that women don’t like sex as much as men. And I honestly have a hard time believing that’s true. What I think is actually happening in most cases is that it takes men a whole lot less to actually feel intimate. What I mean here is that I think men often feel intimate simply by the act of sex. Of course, that’s not the only thing that makes men feel intimate- and women can feel intimate by the act of sex. But I’m not afraid to say that I think our minds work in different ways when it comes to sex and intimacy.
